Hi, I installed Paraview on Windows 10, and am unable to get pvbatch to open because it is “not compatible”. I downloaded the MS-MPI exe file, but still cannot get it to run. Does anybody know how to get pvbatch to work on Windows 10. Do I need the Paraview download that requires an MPI or the one that does not? How do I get the MS-MPI to open PVBatch?

Thanks for your help!

Try downloading the non-mpi zip and see if that opens as expected. You don’t need MSMPI variants unless you really want to use MPI – which doesn’t seem to be the case.
